Mar 2019 Show and Tell, Marbling Workshop

So many beautiful silk scarves by those who thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Silk Scarf Marbling Workshop.
Here are some of the scarves that were presented by Sarita, Linda, Marg, Marie, Ivy, Celia, Nell, Marianne M, Diane, Barb P, Donna A, Doreen M, and Patricia.  
 














We had an amazing display of show and tell this month. These are some highlights. 

For many months we watched Jan P working on old UFO.
This meeting we saw the spectacular completed hooked rug. 
Detail

Barb L wove these beautiful rugs from her own hand dyed, 
handspun rug weight yarn from Navajo Churo wool in 
a Twill weave structure with a 2/10 linen warp. 
Ilse used her stash for this silk scarf woven on 8 harnesses. 

Barb L presented her exquisite long, lined sleeveless
 jacket from her handspun yarn, woven yardage. 

Detail of vest
Patricia knit this shawl using kettle dyed
30%silk/70%wool blend.
Gail has woven six rugs since the beginning of Jan.
The yellow/turquoise rug is for a friend's first great grandchild.

Donna B makes many 'quiet books'. These are samples
 of  
the variety of pages in the different books. 
Brenda P remakes wool clothing into
new and fun pieces.
Raelene wove these scarves from hand painted 2/8 cotton
warp (from 2015 Studio workshop) with a bamboo weft and twisted fringe.
The draw twill required a light beat. 
Jen hand dyed BFL Gotland locks using acid landscape
dyes (Australia) to achieve these beautiful colours.
